Ace of the Dragon Division - Chapter 487

Chapter 487: Old Man’s Gone (Part One)

The old man continued to say, “Do you know what’s the biggest regret in my life?”

Xu Cheng: “What is it?”

The old man: “Not being able to fight you. I’m not bragging, but if I was at my peak, I wouldn’t even care who the fack your teacher Zhang Chenfeng is. Back then when I was able to get out of the Ye Clan by myself and establish a big name for myself, it wasn’t because of my background, but my fists! Besides the old patriarch, there was really no one that could beat me!”

Xu Cheng bitterly smiled.

“You want to fight me, I can help you get up. But I’m afraid that you won’t have the strength to hold on.”

Xu Cheng was really scared that just one blow of wind could take him away. He was worried that the old man would still die even with the serum he brought. By the looks of it, he really had one breath left, but it would take a lot of endurance for the antibodies to develop in his body.

The old man waved his hand. “If the Hell King wants you dead by midnight, he won’t let you see the next morning’s sunshine. It’s okay, it was all worth it to be able to meet a junior that I admire before I die. Don’t worry, when I get down there, I will press those behemoth families’ guys even further down in hell, I won’t give them the chance to reincarnate to come and find you.”

The others were all turned a bit speechless by the fact that the old man could still joke at a time like this.

Elder Xing wiped his tears and said, “Alright, man, I think you should save the rest of the time to tell your family how to handle the affairs afterward.”

“What’s there to tell, if they still need me to teach them, then they aren’t the Ye Family anymore,” the old man scolded. Every time he spoke, he would breathe heavily for a while.

At this time, the three doctors came over and said quietly, “Old Man, no kidding, I think you should hurry up if you still have any last words.”

The old man turned to look at Xu Cheng and said, “If you go out and actually accomplish something great on the world stage, remember to write your legend into a book and burn it to send it to me. I don’t want the official editions with tons of exaggeration, I want an authentic version.”

Minister Ye didn’t know whether he should laugh or cry. He knew his dad too well, he was just like a child and rarely acted seriously. Back then during the war between Huaxia and the Wei Nation, he was a mad hero that wouldn’t even flinch in the face of death and would still nonchalantly try to kill a few more enemies in war.

At this time, Xu Cheng asked Elder Ye, “Old Man, if there’s a Wei Nation soldier that popped up in front of you, would you still have the strength to get up and take him down?”

“That’s for sure.” The old man weakly said, “I might not have much strength but I can still pull a grenade and die together with him. Brat, if you have something to say, say it directly.”

Xu Cheng looked at the others, and then he lowered his head by the old man’s ears and whispered something.

Suddenly, Elder Ye’s eyes lit up.

“I’m not 100% confident whether it will succeed or not, it will depend on your willpower! If you feel that you will lose face and suffer pain when the success isn’t even guaranteed, then you can also just give it up and leave.”

“Don’t provoke me, right now I’m feeling even more energetic and ready to fight than seeing a Wei Nation soldier!” The old man moved his neck and looked at his son Minister Ye and said, “Ye Pei, come over.”

Minister Ye immediately leaned over and said softly to the old man, “Dad, what is it?”

Elder Ye said to his son, “Shoo these guys all out of here. Tell them, I’m not dead yet, no need to come and grieve for me. I think I can still hold on for one more day, and if I can’t get past tomorrow, they can come again.”

Chapter 487: Old Man’s Gone (Part Two)

Minister Ye was rendered speechless by his dad, but he couldn’t help it, that was just his dad’s temper. He bitterly smiled as he stood up and asked everyone to go out to the yard beside the four other elders. Then, at the front yard, he told everyone the old man’s request, and those guys obviously didn’t dare to be dissatisfied by the request. They all left out of the front gate.

After coming back, he curiously asked Xu Cheng in a low voice, “What did you say to the old man? Look at how excited he became.”

“Not much, I just said that since he’s gonna die anyway, he might as well let me give it a try to cure him. The result obviously can’t be much worse than now.”

Minister Ye: “You studied medicine before?”

Xu Cheng: “I’ve been learning it since I went away this time.”

Minister Ye: “Why did you go into medicine all of a sudden? You suddenly found your conscience and want to save lives now?”

Xu Cheng awkwardly coughed. “No, it’s to understand human biology to kill better in the future.”

Minister Ye: “…”

“Uncle Ye, can you invite these three doctors out too? I don’t want them to step up and judge my methods. The old man doesn’t have much time left, so I don’t have time to argue with the three doctors.”

Minister Ye: “That might not be possible. They are also responsible for assessing for a death report after the old man passes away.”

“Forget it, I will do it myself then.” Then, Xu Cheng went to the bedside and said to those three doctors, “Uncles(TL note: a polite way to address people one generation older than you in China), do you feel that the old man can still be rescued?”

The three of them exchanged a look and shook their heads. “We’ve tried our best, it was already not easy to help him extend his days to now. But, as long as Elder Ye isn’t dead, we won’t give up, and we will do everything possible to keep him breathing.”

“Then can you let me try?” Xu Cheng said.

“What did you say?” The three of them were shocked. “Who do you think Elder Ye is? A random cat or dog on the streets? Let you try? What formality is that?”

“I’m no different than a cat or dog on the streets now,” at this time, the old man faintly said.

Xu Cheng glanced at him and said, “No, you are even worse than a cat or dog. You are almost as dead as a log right now.”

The old man looked at those three doctors and said, “Let him try.”

The three doctors were all taken aback. “How can this be done? Elder Ye, you can’t joke with your own life!”

“I’m not joking.” The old man bitterly smiled, and he said to Xu Cheng, “Come closer, let me talk to you.”

Xu Cheng sat down, leaned over to the old man’s mouth and the old man softly said, “Since I will die in your hands, take this guilt and in the future, when necessary, I hope you can take care of Little Xiu or the future generation of the Ye Family.”

In fact, he didn’t expect Xu Cheng to save him at all. He knew he was going to die, so he thought it would be fine to hand over his body to Xu Cheng to practice. Just like he said, in the future when the Ye Family doesn’t have a strong background anymore, Xu Cheng could still lend a hand and help out.

Xu Cheng obviously guessed what the old man had planned. He bitterly smiled. “Yeah.”

In this case, three of the most authoritative doctors in the nation had tried their best, the old man was obviously not holding onto any more hope.

Besides the accumulated illness in his body, Elder Ye was also at the end of his lifecycle. It was about time.

Xu Cheng directly took out a box from his jacket’s pocket, and the box had been vacuumed sealed to ensure that the syringes weren’t contaminated. He took out a syringe and was about to inject it into the old man’s vein, but at that moment, Elder Ye’s electrocardiogram flatlined, and the “beeee” sound sounded.

Everyone was dead silent.

Dead.

Xu Cheng sat by the bedside, not knowing whether he should continue with the needle in his hand.

Ye Xiu grabbed onto his wrist and sighed, “Big Brother Cheng, let’s respect the deceased; leave him some dignity.”
